Ally has a pair of shorts that say "Catch me I'm cute," which is a perfect summation of our little toddler. She is all motor skills these days. She can run exceptionally fast for her age, walk backwards, walk on her toes, turn in circles, climb, kick, and throw. She's able to draw really well for her age too and enjoys scribbling with markers, crayons and side walk chalk. We haven't been as good at reading to her as we should be, but honestly, it's hard to get her to stay still long enough to get through more then 2-3 pages.
She's still not really talking, at least not in words that we can understand. Her vocabulary is limited to Mama, Dada and thank you, but she rarely has a problem getting her point across. She points, shakes her head no, blows kisses, waves bye bye, and has a series of grunts, whines and screams that are pretty easy to interpret.She loves animals of any shape and size. One of her favorite activities at the park is chasing squirrels, and she always runs straight to the guinea pig cage when we pick Sophia up from preschool. And of course, she loves her own doggy. Unlike her older sister, she's interested in playing dress up and is pretty good at accessorizing by herself.
She's a good eater...in fact, she's too good. Several times a day I end up fishing dog food and marking pens out of her mouth! Fruits and vegetables are her favorites at meal time.
We often refer to her as "crazy baby" because she can be a real goofball, but she is full of laughter and always has us laughing right along with her.
